10 Dumb Decisions In The DC Extended Universe We Can't Forgive
9. Clark Kent, Coward
Clearly inspired by what Christopher Nolan did with The Dark Knight Trilogy, Zack Snyder chose to do something new with Superman's origin story in Man of Steel and delivered an overly long and convoluted take on Clark Kent's transformation into a superhero.
It was bad enough that he didn't decide to don his iconic costume until his late 20s/early 30s, but Clark's decision to hide his powers all those years arguably make him nothing short of a coward. Can you imagine his comic book counterpart choosing not to save his father from certain death just because he told him not to in order to hide his secret?
It just wouldn't happen because the Superman we all know and love would have found a way to still be a hero.
Ultimately, it felt like he only became Superman because he had no other choice, and for as much as Snyder got right here, he made some crucial errors which it's hard to forgive. Jonathan Kent's demise is perhaps his biggest blunder, though.
